story of "Architect"

（摘自SCEA study guide）

Anyone who has seen the movie My Big Fat Greek Wedding knows how the main

character, Toula’s father, thinks every English word is derived from the Greek language.

In the case of the word architect, he is correct. Arkhitekton is the Greek term meaning

“head builder,” from which the word architect is derived. Originally it described the

leading stone mason of the ancient Greek temples of 500 B.C. It goes like so: Arkhi

means head, chief, or master; Tekton means worker or builder. The word is related to

Tekhne, the Greek term meaning art or skill.
